Joey Jacobs Scout Report

Joey Jacobs, serving primarily as a centre-back for Almere City FC in the Eredivisie, is a defensive pillar whose game is still burgeoning at 24 years old. The scout report unveils a player rooted in defensive solidity, patrolling the defensive third with over half of his ball activity occurring here. Jacobs is adept at reading the game, with interceptions and ball recovery stats indicating a reasonable defensive awareness. However, his ability to retain possession raises eyebrows, placing him among the lower echelons for pass accuracy and ball retention. This suggests he's yet to refine his decision-making under pressure, which could limit Almere's transition from defence to attack. Despite a respectable 49% aerial duel success, his overall duel win rate is slightly below the desired mark, pointing to potential gaps in physical contests. Disciplinary issues seem mild, though his higher-than-average fouls committed hint at occasional lapses in timing. Jacobs' progression into the midfield with the ball is limited, and his forays into the attacking third are rare, indicating a traditional defensive style of play. If Jacobs refines his passing under pressure and boosts his duel intensity, he could evolve into a more rounded centre-half, harnessing his potential to influence games more consistently.
